Islamic Complex to be Built in Milan

Constructing a large mosque for Muslim residents of Milan is under discussion. The city will not be able to take the World Exhibition Expo 2015 not having a mosque.

Muslims offer to build a place of worship on the site of the "Palasharp" ice arena. The mosque project has already been submitted to the mayor's office of the city although not proclaimed.
Negotiations are ongoing with Italian and foreign investors, as well as Muslim communities having a desire to finance construction. Municipality representatives claim that Milan annually is visited by many businessmen from Arab countries who are interested in building a mosque.
About 120 000 people in Milan are Muslims.
